Jake DeFinis: 1B/LHP, (2027) Walled lake Northern, MI. 5-foot-10, 230-pound. (64.8 mph bat speed average). (18.3 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced open stance with a smooth controlled load, then used a controlled stride. He barreled up multiple balls with a lot of loud contact. Solid while in the infield, made throws at velocities up to 68 mph; has developing feet, a developing natural exchange, and hard consistent hands. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were average. Solid on the mound, showing good arm speed he had a ¾ arm angle with a long arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses some effort. Has a consistent balance point with even shoulders. Lands square with upright finish. (Max spin 1855; Avg 1692).
